Dawn had just broken, and news from the Jianghu Teahouse was already out.
The entire Jijing and even the Capital Prefecture were shaken.
Who would have thought that the Bai Family would dare to make such a move.
They went ahead and took direct action.
And once they struck, it was the Wrath of Thunder.
They destroyed ten dark gold Aristocratic Clans and even played Zhou Shangren like a fool, slaughtering five of the Zhou Family's ninth-rank Great Grandmasters.
Many who collaborated with the Zhou Family, intending to crush Xinmeng Group and then take a share of the spoils, were panicked at this point.
They all felt that the Bai Family was just too domineering, too ferocious.
While frightened, they were also enraged.
It wasn't just them—other major Aristocratic Clans like the Zhan Family and the Huang Family also issued public condemnations.
At this moment, what else should one do if not kick an enemy while they're down?
